AICUZ Program

The Air Installations Compatible Use Zones (AICUZ) program exists to promote compatible land use near military airfields. The AICUZ program is an extensive analysis of the effects of aircraft noise, aircraft accident potential, and land use development upon present and future neighbors of MCAS Miramar, which seeks a cooperation among local communities and governments.

The 2020 AICUZ provides an update to the previous 2005 AICUZ and documents changes in:

• flight operations

• aircraft noise and accident potential

• land use compatibility

• strategies or recommendations to address existing and potential incompatible development in the vicinity of the air installation

The United States Marine Corps (USMC) guidance on AICUZ can be found in Navy Instruction OPNAVINST 11010.36C/Marine Corps Order (MCO) 11010.16.
